Following Race 8 a protest was lodged pursuant to Rule 876 (1) by the Informant Mr A Coles. He alleged that SO ROYAL placed 2nd by the Judge caused interference to TAMSYN ROSE placed 5th by the Judge. The interference occurred inside the final 200 metres.
--Present at the enquiry were:
--2nd horse SO ROYAL Trainer Mr J Sargent
--Jockey Mr A Coleman
----
5th horse TAMSYN ROSE Trainer Mr J Wright
--Jockey Mr J McDonald
--The margin between the 2nd horse and the 5th horse at the post was 2 lengths.
----
Mr J Oatham demonstrated the video films which clearly showed TAMSYN ROSE being severely crowded approximately 75 metres from the post. He said Mr McDonald, rider of TAMSYN ROSE, had to take a strong hold of his mount and his momentum was stopped. Mr Oatham said the check was caused by the winner moving in and the 2nd horse moving out.
--Mr J McDonald, rider of TAMSYN ROSE, said he was making ground and finishing strongly when he had his momentum stopped by the 2 horses in front but believed most of the interference was caused by the winner.
--Mr J Wright, trainer of TAMSYN ROSE, said he concurred with Mr McDonald saying his horse received a severe check.
--Mr Coleman, rider of SO ROYAL, said Mr McDonald had a clear run until the last 75 metres and had plenty of time to get past him. He believed with the 2 length margin at the post TAMSYN ROSE was never going to beat his mount.
--Mr J Sargent, trainer of SO ROYAL, said there was movement in and out from the first 2 horses and believed it would be very hard to prove with the 2 length margin between 2nd and 5th that TAMSYN ROSE could have got up to beat SO ROYAL if interference had not occurred.
--Mr Coles in summing up said Mr McDonald certainly received quite a severe check due to the movement of 2 horses but said the Committee had to decide whether TAMSYN ROSE would have made up the margin of 2 lengths without receiving interference.
--DECISION
--The Committee carefully considered all the evidence presented and while satisfied that TAMSYN ROSE did receive crowding approximately 75 metres from the post we are left with considerable doubt that TAMSYN ROSE would have beaten SO ROYAL if interference had not occurred. This is because of the 2 length margin at the post between the 2 and the strong manner in which SO ROYAL was finishing the race. It was also evident to the Committee that the winner OUTLAW QUEEN had moved in contributing to the crowding received by TAMSYN ROSE. Accordingly after taking all these factors into account the Committee rules that the protest be dismissed.
